Standard travel insurance won't cover you in a conflict zone.
Most policies contain explicit exclusions for war, armed conflict and civil unrest. If you're reporting from a conflict environment, you may have no cover at all — even if you paid for a policy.
Personal accident cover
Defined benefits for accidental death, permanent disability and temporary total disablement — valid in conflict environments.
Emergency medical expenses
Medical treatment costs covered when you're away from home, including in locations under active travel advisories.
Medical evacuation
If local medical care isn't adequate, evacuation to appropriate facilities is arranged and covered.
24/7 emergency assistance
Direct access to NGS — an operational crisis response team, not a call centre — at any hour.
War and civil unrest
Cover that remains valid in the environments that standard policies exclude by design.
Freelance and staff
Available to freelance journalists and staff reporters — you don't need an employer policy to get appropriate cover.
Emergency Assistance
Through our partnership with Northcott Global Solutions (NGS), you have 24/7 access to a professional crisis response team — not a general insurance helpline.
NGS can coordinate medical care, arrange evacuation, and provide security support in environments where standard assistance services won't operate.
